Default new guy (to softails)

due to a recent bout with dumbasses (had a truck in front of me lose two pallets of rolled insulation at 65-70 mph) ive found myself with a new ride. The insurance company bs was kinda painful, but i made it through it. Ive owned many bikes, most recently an 08 fxdb. Picked up a 02 night train a few days ago and while i havent gotten to ride it much im pretty stoked about it. A few things will have to go like the bars and headlight but overall i dig it

Heres a few pics







Anybody know anything about these wheels? Stock option or no? Ive never em

holy lower lumbar support on that seat, batman. and no, im pretty sure those aren't harley wheels.. i'm also pretty sure that the stock train wheel came with a laced spoke in the front, and a black/aluminum holed wheel in the rear.. there's a night train thread around here somewhere you should search for and check out

Congrats on the new Train.

looks like I have the same rims only in the chrome version. I believe their called "spider web of death" by Revtech.

I bought my rims back in 2004 and their still holding up great. I like em because their really easy to clean.

Looks like the previous owner kicked in for the sprocket too!

Ride on!
